Wow!

Hello and welcome to the Brunjapan podcast, probably the best way of learning about life in Japan without actually being in Japan.

I'm your host Chris Broad and I'm a join as always by England's top Japan enthusiast, Mr. Pete Donaldson,

himself. Pete, how you doing on this fine morning? Good morning, Japan!

Chris, where are you right now? Are you in Tokyo? Are you in Sendai? Are you in your house?

I want to know. In my house in Sendai, Kozienwam. Oh, beautiful. Oh, lovely. Hostages where they've been like,

you know, I always talk about the weather because I'm in London and us Londoners are obsessed with

weather. It's bloody cold. It's gone from being like nice and warm. It's just cold and like a week,

and it's horrible. Horrible. I bet it's still like 25 degrees in Tokyo as well. Yeah, exactly.

And it's actually started snowing. I saw the first snow of the year, the last few days of

mountains and I drove through some, got to change my tires to snow tires in the coming days,

less my car, become a nightmare to drive, if I don't. You gotta get it done. You gotta get it done.

Or you die. Have you, um, said, do you have to replace the tires themselves? I just put chains on

them. How does that work? You drive to a garage and you put your tires in the car and just ask

them to do it. And then you go and have a coffee, come back and it's done. It's magic. It doesn't take

too long. Well, steady, steady. Now, I don't drive a car, but weirdly, I have changed wheels on a car.

Can you not just change your own wheels? You've not got a little... It's a lot of effort. Come on,

I probably screw it all up. You're a YouTuber. You make your own hours. I'm a YouTuber. I can't

change tires. I sit in a bedroom and film myself. That's the extent of my talent. Yeah, you can just

film yourself doing it. There's content. How to change tires on a Japanese car. How to change

Japanese tires on a English car. How to change Japanese tires in a Japanese city, etc, etc. Look,

I should manage you, Chris. That's all I'm saying. I should be managing your little hustle.
